And don't forget the correct use of alumnae/alumni! Alumnae and alumni are Latin words, so they have different endings according to the male/female case. Male singular is "alumnus" and plural is "alumni." "Alumni" is also used if the group includes both men and women.
But "alumna" is the singular female version; "alumnae" is the plural. Delta Gamma has only female members; thus, we refer to our members as "alumnae."
Thank you! Now stepping down from my soapbox...
